Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The end of the extreme heat has made many people in the base cheer, because everyone is saying that the end of the extreme heat means that they can return to their daily lives for a while, prices will slowly drop, and it has been announced that there will be no more electricity and water restrictions in the base.

Currently, 80 percent of the enterprises in the base have resumed normal operations, and some government agencies have also started working.

Prices have dropped by 30% compared to before. Although they are slightly higher than before the extreme heat, at least they are no longer rising.

Gu Tongwan earned 12,000 points from the batch of winter melons and pumpkins she sold yesterday. Currently, after deducting the 3,000 points she gave to Yan Fan to stock up on goods, she used the remaining 1,000 points to pay for water, electricity, and internet fees. There is now a balance of more than 70,000 points on the card, which makes her considered a wealthy woman at the base.

However, Gu Tongwan was not sure whether the money was enough to buy a house in the dungeon, so she gritted her teeth and sent a message to Chen Yanxi in advance. The content was simple: she wanted to borrow money when the dungeon opened.

A concise message came back from the other side, and just one word "OK" was enough to explain everything.

Then when he woke up the next day, Gu Tongwan found that there were 200,000 more points on his card.

If these 200,000 points were converted into the current income level of the base, it would be roughly equivalent to the salary of an ordinary white-collar worker in the inner circle for about 20 years. If converted into the income of an ordinary worker in the outer circle, it would be at least 40 years.

The last time her card had more than 100,000 points seemed to be when the hunting competition had just ended, but she used the money immediately to buy land.

There is currently a total of about 280,000 yuan on the card, and she is very sure that it will be no problem for her to buy a small suite in the dungeon.

However, being able to transfer 200,000 points at one time, this can’t be Chen Yanxi’s hidden treasure.

Just in case, she finally asked in a joking tone, but she didn't expect the other party to reply, "It's not the bottom of the box, don't worry, it's just a small part."

Looking at the message received on his mobile phone, Gu Tongwan immediately raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but wonder how much money this person has. Two hundred thousand is just a small part for him. The amount in the card cannot exceed seven figures.

In fact, Gu Tongwan was indeed worrying too much. If she knew that Chen Yanxi had already had a seven-digit amount of money on his card when the base was first built, she would probably regret that Chen Yanxi was so "stingy".

Chen Yanxi wanted to transfer more to her card, but the base currently has regulations that the maximum monthly accumulated amount for private transfers from personal points cards to individuals can only be 50,000. Due to the special nature of his job, the amount has been increased to 200,000. If it needs to be increased further, Gu Tongwan will have to go to some special departments in person to get a certificate, which will cause unnecessary trouble.

On the fifth day after the extreme heat ended, some posts such as "The End of the World" began to appear on the base forum.

Some people believe that the end of this extreme heat means that the blue planet is about to open a new chapter and mankind is about to usher in a "rebirth."

But some people believe that the natural disasters have not ended yet, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the "prophet's" words about the invisible future.

Gu Tongwan stood at the window on the second floor. At this time, the air conditioner in the small building no longer needed to be turned on. There was an outdoor mobile power bank on the balcony, which was being charged using solar panels.

Because it was extremely hot some time ago, all electricity was generated by solar power. After the temperature dropped in the past few days, it has been cloudy in the morning and afternoon except for the noon period, so she can only take advantage of the noon time every day to charge the outdoor mobile power bank by one or two bars.

In fact, the only places on the first and second floors that need electricity are the refrigerator, induction cooker, and a few lamps.

An ordinary solar panel can basically meet all the electricity needs of the first and second floors, but worried about the "eternal night" in the future, Gu Tongwan still wants to make as many preparations as possible.

Liao Yunyun sent a text message this morning, saying that their news department had received the news that they would start work in the afternoon. She planned to take a nap now and then take a nap, then get up at two o'clock to pack up and go out.

Gu Tongwan smiled, turned around and ran to the yard to collect the clothes. Suddenly, the light above her head seemed to dim.

I was shocked to find that at some point, a black cloud had gradually drifted in from the outer circle and was spreading over the base at a very fast speed.

It has not rained in China for more than two months. During this period, lakes and rivers have gradually dried up, and people can only survive on groundwater and spring water flowing down from the mountains.

Therefore, after seeing the dark clouds, most people in the base not only did not feel afraid, but began to look forward to this "heavy rain", hoping that the heavy rain could slightly fill the lake that had been dry for more than two months.

As Gu Tongwan quickened the pace of collecting clothes, he noticed the blood vine on the back of his hand was wriggling restlessly.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the pungent smell began to become clear.

Yan Fan looked at the doctor from behind and then asked in confusion, "Why is there a smell of sulfuric acid?"

"Sulfuric acid?" Gu Tongwan frowned and turned his head to ask.

Yan Fan nodded, "Yes, I used to be exposed to sulfuric acid when doing experiments in the chemistry laboratory at school. This is the smell."

Before the end of the world, Yan Fan was a student at a key middle school in the city. He was also the class representative of the chemistry class. His favorite thing was to stay in the laboratory and learn various interesting experiments with the teacher. The reason why he was so familiar with the smell of sulfuric acid was that he accidentally caused the reagent to explode during an experiment and almost hurt himself, so he would never mistake it for the smell of sulfuric acid.

Gu Tongwan glanced at the dark clouds above his head and saw that they had covered the entire yard. To be specific, the dark clouds came from outside the base. In fact, whether it was outside or inside the base, at least the area within a hundred kilometers nearby was under such dark clouds.

The wanderer base outside the base.

Cai Min and her father are studying the next batch of tomato seedlings in the vegetable greenhouse. After the temperature dropped recently, the father and daughter began to plan to cultivate a new batch of fruits and vegetables. The tomato seeds in particular were left over from the batch of tomatoes that they negotiated for the transaction last time. The soil was also specially screened, and deep soil was used as much as possible. These soils are less corroded and are therefore more suitable for growing fruits and vegetables.

Cai Min glanced at the dark clouds outside the greenhouse and couldn't help saying, "I don't know if it will rain. If it does, we won't have to continue watering with well water this afternoon."

Cai Kang was holding a cigarette in his mouth as he carefully transplanted a newly sprouted tomato seedling into another foam box. "It can't rain too hard. If it drowns the watermelon seedlings we just planted a few days ago, then our efforts will be in vain."

"Dad, how can it rain so heavily? It was the same two days ago. A dark cloud came and we were expecting a little rain, but the sky spent the whole afternoon preparing for it and nothing happened."

Now everyone is looking forward to rain. Those who have land want to save trouble and just let the rain water irrigate the land. Those who don’t have land have placed a large bucket outside the door in advance, so that every household can use less rainwater for cleaning the house or for bathroom water.

Although the Wanderers' organization is backed by mountains and their water source is from springs and groundwater in the mountains, as the population base of the base camp increases, water and electricity charges are gradually increased. In fact, they are more expensive than the base. However, the infrastructure of the base camp is not as mature as the base. At night, each household has fewer entertainment activities. Basically, they eat a full meal, chat for a few minutes at home, and then lie down on the bed. Because of this, the family planning in the base camp has not been very good. Although a family planning department has been specially organized here to publicize the difficulties of having children in the end times every day, and strive for each family to have only one child, before the extreme heat, members of the family planning team could be seen riding bicycles all day long, holding loudspeakers and shouting slogans in the camp, but in fact the effect was minimal. After all, without entertainment activities these days, couples or lovers can't do anything except that kind of thing when staying in the room.

The base camp has a population of over 100,000, and the birth rate of newborns can reach an astonishing dozens every day. However, the conditions of some families are so difficult that they can only find ways to make simple umbrellas with the large intestines of a batch of mutant pigs or mutant sheep slaughtered before. When the weather was good before, they could occasionally go fishing nearby and use the fish bladders to make thinner umbrellas. Despite this, this thing is still in short supply in the market.

After the black market opened, you could occasionally see people selling finished small umbrellas. These were the ones that were snapped up before the end of the world, and were broken down and sold individually. Each umbrella cost nearly a hundred points, and when they were out of stock, they could even be sold for a hundred and fifty or sixteen points, which was almost an average person's weekly income.

Gu Tongwan sorted out a batch of small umbrellas from the warehouse a few days ago. She had a total of more than a dozen boxes of these things in her space. She had originally planned to take out twenty boxes to sell at the black market this week. However, when Yan Fan found out that she was going to sell these things, he refused to go with her. Perhaps it was because boys in adolescence are particularly sensitive about that aspect, but Yan Fan's face was as pale as that of a pig's liver. In the end, he ran straight back to his little house, fearing that Gu Tongwan would really drag him along to sell these things.

In the end, Gu Tongwan had no choice but to contact Sister Pan, because compared to the Cai family, the small umbrella could be sold at a higher price on the black market.

Twenty boxes of small umbrellas were sold to Sister Pan for 20,000 yuan. Sister Pan smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits, thinking that she had made a great bargain. With the packaging in her hand, she could sell it to rich people who wandered around the black market and some powerful people she knew. In her hand, she could at least double the price of a small box of things.

Cai Min saw that the dark clouds outside were getting lower and lower, as if a black cloth was about to fall from the sky at any time. She felt a sense of panic in her heart. It was estimated that the rain would fall soon. If it was a heavy rainstorm, the greenhouse was more than 200 meters away from her yard. The father and daughter did not bring an umbrella or rain gear when they came out, so she patted the broken soil in her hands and said, "Dad, let's go back first."

Cai Kang had almost finished the work in his hands, so he stood up, left his dirty work clothes in the greenhouse, locked the door, and even looked up at his own glass greenhouse before leaving.

When building this vegetable greenhouse, Cai Kang insisted on using glass for the roof instead of using ordinary plastic roofs like other companies.

Because this expenditure was not included in the camp's previous budget for vegetable greenhouses, Cai Kang had to pay for the money himself in the end. However, due to the high price, the Cai family could only afford the roof of one vegetable greenhouse. The roof of the other vegetable greenhouse was built by Cai Gong and Cai Min's husband, two psychics who risked their lives to pull down the glass doors of several shops along the street in an abandoned county town nearby. They were almost attacked by mutant beasts on the way, but fortunately they managed to bring the things back safely in the end.

"Dad, let's go, what are you looking at?"

Seeing Cai Kang looking up and staring at the roof of his own vegetable greenhouse, Cai Min, who was already walking in front, urged him.

"Xiao Min, if there is a hailstorm, will our roof be smashed?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Haven't we already added an extra layer of foam on the glass? It shouldn't be damaged unless the hail is particularly large. Besides, have you seen hail in recent years? Don't think too much about it. Let's go back quickly to avoid getting wet on the road." Although Cai Min was anxious, she was still amused by the question raised by her father.

Although Cai Kang was still worried, he was urged by his daughter, so he noticed the dark patch of black above his head. He was so scared that he blurted out: "Oh my God, it looks like it's really going to rain heavily, Xiao Min, hurry up and leave."

Cai Min glanced back at her father who had caught up with her, and then continued to quicken her pace. If everything went well, the 200-meter journey would take less than five minutes. However, the father and daughter were walking on the ridge of the field, and the mud underneath was uneven, so they were not walking very fast.

After walking for about three or four minutes, I suddenly caught a glimpse of raindrops as big as soybeans on the dry ridges in the distance. White smoke actually came out when the raindrops hit the ridges.

Cai Min couldn't help but be stunned. At first she thought she was dazzled, but when the second drop of rain fell on the ridge of the field more than ten meters away from her, she clearly saw the faint white smoke dissipating at a very fast speed.

At this time, a sour smell similar to sulfur dioxide and some kind of irritating smell began to fill the air, and if you inhaled it, you would feel a stuffy feeling in your chest and difficulty breathing.

"Dad, we have to run quickly, this rain is wrong!"

Cai Min came back to her senses and shouted, then pulled Cai Kang, who was a few steps behind her.

Cai Kang also noticed something was wrong. Just now, a drop of rain hit right in front of him. He saw the white smoke coming out of the rain hitting the soil more intuitively than Cai Mingang.

"Xiao Min, it might be acid rain, let's run."

The father and daughter really ran forward as fast as they could in their lives, and at this time they were less than a hundred meters away from their yard.

Eighty meters

seventy meters

fifty meters

The raindrops were not very dense at this time, but occasionally you could feel the "crackling" sound of rain hitting your feet.

His own small courtyard appeared in front of him. Just as he approached the door, Cai Kang felt a sharp pain in his arm and groaned, but he did not dare to slow down. By the time the father and daughter entered the house, he could no longer tell whether the sweat on his face was hot sweat or cold sweat after surviving a disaster.
